Want to volunteer in the LGBT community?
Volunteers have long been an integral part of Center on Halsted. Founded by volunteers in 1972 as Horizons Community Services to provide social services to lesbians and gay men in the Chicago metropolitan area, Center on Halsted has evolved from the changing and developing needs of our community. With the vision and motivation of our volunteer leadership, Center on Halsted will open in spring 2007 as the most innovative and comprehensive LGBT Community Center in the nation.
Volunteers continue to serve with the Center in various capacities, whether it is by answering phones while staffing our LGBT Info line, joining our network of trained and licensed volunteer therapists, helping out in the youth program, or lending a hand at special events and fundraisers. The help of our volunteers is critical to the agency and we appreciate all the dedicated individuals who share their time and expertise with us.
All volunteers must first attend one of our monthly orientation sessions. These two hour long orientations are an opportunity for you to learn about volunteer opportunities available at the Center and a chance for us to learn of the skills, talents, and experience you have to offer.
